Looking for info on old Barlow

[TheEdge01]

I posted this in another thread but didn’t get a lot of info other than it could be fake. Anyway, I got this one in a trade with a coworker. It feels solid and heavy but the only letters on the tang are WC. Any info is appreciated.

That looks like a Russell barlow to me.

Poorly done copy!! But if it sharpens and holds an edge, it's worth using!!

Thanks for the info, I’ll see if it’ll take an edge.

Same this side. Maybe made by the famous Walter Closett?

Water Closet... Lol
But yes, the stamps are all wrong and the blade shape doesn't look correct... I'd say bad copy too.
But it's kind of fun having a few counterfeits arounds for conversation pieces... as long as they don't cost you much.

My co-worker is kind of like a walking flea market. He enjoys buying junk knives online to work on or swap around. Sometimes he ends up with decent knives, and other times, well my Barlow is a prime example of a turd that ends up in the mix.

The blade reminds me of Kutmaster
